BlackShares Economics
BlackShares economically empowers the Black community by investing in Black-owned businesses, and sharing platform revenue with members.
Grow together."
An Economic Engine. For Us.
BlackShares is an ecosystem for Black-owned business creation and growth.
We've created a form of capitalism that puts collaboration over capital—leveraging community talent to help offset capital shortages—wherein all collaborators share the wealth.
At the same time, we generate capital for Black founders by directing a share of platform-revenue to an investment fund that continuously reinvests its returns.
How The BlackShares Economic Engine Solves Our Community's Biggest Business Challenge
The Challenge
Black businesses are tragically undercapitalized, with Black founders receiving less than 0.5% of venture capital, even as Black people make up 14% of the U.S. population.
Worse, we are also locked out of the ecosystems and networks that generally attend that capital and help ensure success.
The result? Persistently under-supported founders working to compete against all odds.
The Engine Starts
BlackShares is designed to be a self-sustaining engine that continuously reinvests.
We start with a nominal Premium membership fee, which supports platform operation and creates revenue that is immediately added to our investment fund.
But, this is not a donation. It's providing value to members in exchange for revenue that's immediately put to work.
Reinvestment + Ecosystem
As members refer others, our investable capital and ecosystem of support grow.
We also add other platform revenue, generating still more investable capital.
The result? More of our businesses, scale, and provide ROI that members share and that the platform continuously reinvests.
The economic engine revs higher with each passing day.
Member revenue sharing—an opportunity in itself
Every Premium membership includes a built-in partnership with BlackShares that entitles members to share
revenue with what will be the largest community working together for Black economic empowerment
in history.
Just spreading the word about BlackShares can generate significant recurring income for you, while building real economic power. Read on
to learn how easy it is to earn with BlackShares.
Referral Commission
You'll earn 10% of the membership fee for each new member you refer, for as long as they are a paying member.
For our creator members with larger followings, this can easily net 6 or 7-figures in recurring monthly income.
Referrals' Activity
10% of the revenue generated by the activity of your referrals on BlackShares will count towards your share of the total member dividend for that period.
For instance, if a member you referred makes a purchase via BlackShares that generates a commission, then 10% of the revenue generated for BlackShares will be added to your earnings total when calculating your share of that period's dividend.
Additional RevShare
As BlackShares continues to grow, we will open other revenue producing channels such as reasonable third-party advertising and a marketplace for Black-owned businesses.
BlackShares allocates 20% of its total additional revenue to be shared among members via The BlackShares Empowerment Dividend. The amount each member earns is based on an algorithm that considers the members' total revenue generating activity, plus that of his/her referrals.
